This is a Compaq Presario 380Mhz K6-2 laptop. 64MB memory, 6.4GB hard
drive.
I've been running a dual boot system of RH (5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 7.0, 7.1) on
it for a couple of years. Never any problems except getting X properly
configured for 1024x768 mode.
Everything under RH has worked "flawlessly". The only problems I've ever
had, are those experienced by several others with similar hardware, and
there's always been a workaround or patch. RH 7.1 is the first release I
haven't had to patch the kernel to get the touchpad to work correctly (seems
this was addressed in the 2.3.18 kernel, or thereabouts).

2, 75%
Tim,
What sort of machine is this PC? It seems so strange that you'd have
problems with this, as the same sort of system for me installed
effortlessly. The only differences I see are:
1) I have 256MB
2) I'm using Gnome
Other than that, I did a pretty complete RH install and have no special
hardware in my machine. ( A Dell 500MHz PIII) and everything just installed
fine.
I'll keep looking.
Mark
